Quirky concept that didn't quite pull it off. A bit schizophrenic between overtly campy English themed decor to something that maybe took itself a little more seriously than one would expect. Reasonably clean but mildly dog-eared throughout. The pool was closed (empty) and we were told we could go out to the deck to lounge (and have a drink, etc.) but when we tried our key cards to get out to the poolside and tents, the door wouldn't open. The tv in our room wouldn't turn on. The light switch in the bathroom was hidden behind the towels hanging over the toilet. The in-room coffee maker used a 3-pring plug but there was no place to use it in proximity to where it was set up. Even the business center was still using computers that ran on Windows Vista! Just...weird. Plenty of parking was available but we got charged a fee to park our car (even though they never asked for our vehicle's license plate - unnecessary surcharge if you ask me). I really wanted to like the experience more but these (and a few other) nits just ate away at the experience. The staff was friendly and we had "interesting" drinks from the on-site pub. Again, cool and quirky but didn't stack up to similar conceptual overtures like a House of Blues Hotel or something. Probably won't go back but if you're in a pinch, you could do worse. Give it a shot - who knows, you might have more success than we did. Just temper your expectations.

This isn’t a typical hotel. It has a.vibe that you only get at non chains. I hadn’t been there for 40 years if remembered it from a decades old ESPN shoot at the checker dome. It was just as cool and very nicely updated without loosing its vibe.

This hotel is so unique and cozy. It’s my favorite place to stay in the St Louis area, whether a date with my husband or a fun getaway with my daughter and granddaughters. We all love it. The breakfast is the best! Also - ask about their scavenger hunt - very fun & informative!

Automated lighting system in bathrooms are a joke. Had to move rooms because the light in first room wouldn’t turn off. Lost about 1 1/2 hours of much needed sleep. Moved to new room and the light would not come on in morning. Had to take shower and get ready in dark. Was planning to extend my stay another night but did not because I didn’t want to deal with light again.

We wanted a weekend getaway by the pool and the Cheshire was perfect for this. We were not aware there was no longer poolside bar service though. It does state it somewhere as an amenity, so I think the website needs to be updated. This themed hotel is a hidden gem in St. Louis. The complimentary breakfast is a great perk.

Charming
Very relaxing, paid in full prior to checking in, but they charged a $50 card hold at when checking in. The breakfast spread was incredible and it was fun getting in some photos of the beautiful building with the fam. We will be headed to swim before checking out. Hoping to check out the little pub too.
